It’s officially summer! I’ve started riding my bike around town, putting ice in my drinks, wearing cut off jean shorts, sweating, etc. I’ve smashed all my winter snowboard gear into a couple bags to ferment for the next 5 months; maybe the Thrift store is a better idea for that.
Anyways, now that I won’t [...]

Rome snowboards was kind enough to set me up on one of their new Mod snowboards this year. I have to say, that sucker rips. It’s right up there with the K2 Believer that Sean Tedore designed.
Anyways, I entered a high ollie contest this spring at Northstar. I’ve won the event the [...]

During the end our last photoshoot session, Seth Huot broke out a bbq. It was a nice treat after a long day of shooting. It was warm and sunny, we were tired and hungry. The smells of grilled hot dogs lured in Laura Hadar and Ben Gustafson from Team Thunder. It turned into [...]

I’m out in SLC at the moment, been here a few days working with the People Creative crew. I picked up Eiki Helgason in Reno, and brought him out to meet up with Jon Kooley and Will Tuddenham, and filmer Pierre Minhondo.
We came out with the intentions of getting the first day of sun [...]

A few years ago when I was making a bunch of cash as a pro snowboarder (Santa Cruz, Hoven, COAL, Quiksilver, Flux, ACTIVE, etc) , I was into expensive things. I have really been into modern design the past 5 or so years, especially mid century work by Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Eames. [...]

One of my favorite photographers Mark Kohlman organizes an online action sports photo gallery for ESPN, called Zoom. I used to worked with him while I was a pro snowboarder, and got some of my best stuff then. I try to [...]

Zac Marben. Not sure what I can say about him, except I’ve had the pleasure of watching his snowboarding abilities come a long way.
I first rode with him on the slopes of Mt Hood about 9 years ago, where he landed a cameo appearance in Pierre Minhondo’s (of People films) first movie [...]

If you haven’t checked out Yobeat.com, then you take snowboarding too seriously or haven’t been on the internet since 1997. For some humorous trash talking, look through their archives.
They recently started a new series called “Fight Club”. I don’t know if I should feel honored, or bummed that I was part of the first one. [...]

Right now I’m prepping for a trip with the TWS film crew, getting gear ready to board a plane. I’m not able to charge a client my traveling fees, so I’m being careful with every penny spent.
I have a very heavy flash kit, which is roughly 65 lbs full in the [...]

Just a couple days ago, I attended the Ashbury Demo at Bear Mtn. It was amazing, seriously was the best rail riding I’ve seen ever. Granted it was in a park and not on a street rail, but the tricks and consistency of the Ashbury team was mind blowing.
I just saw the gallery [...]

Last week I joined the People film crew in the Sonora Pass mountains. It’s a well known backcountry filming spot near Tahoe. I ripped down and got some great photos that I hope will make it into the magazines next year.
I did a little story with Espn about the trip. Here’s a [...]
